Before the Fall
An AU 9th Pass Canon Pern RPG
An AU 9th Pass Canon Pern RPG
Plot Update:
The surprises never cease at Fort Weyr. The first was junior queen Haduth rising for her maiden flight nine months early. Then came the first Weyrleader change in seven Turns. The biggest one of all has happened on the Hatching Sands of Pern’s oldest Weyr. Haduth has laid a twenty-one egg clutch that includes a shining queen egg, zealously guarded by the young queen. The gold and her rider are understandably proud, but it does make for some problems.
While holders will be more likely to give their girls up on Search if there’s a chance for a baby queen, the Weyr still needs good quality boys in the ranks. Thanks to some political maneuvering by the Weyrleaders, new territory has opened up to Fort searchriders. Tillek Hold, traditionally beholden to High Reaches Weyr, has agreed to allow any Weyr on the western half of the continent to search from its territory. Fort has declared territory once covered by the empty Ista Weyr to be fair game, despite the protests of Igen Weyr, which claims the area. Hopefully the benefits will outweigh the costs and Fort can find enough new candidates for the waiting clutch.

Candidacy is a little different at Before the Fall. Candidates at Fort Weyr get recorded with the Weyrwoman and then treated as any other weyrstaff until the Hatching. There’s no barracks, no Candidatemaster, no lessons and definitely no egg touching. Hatchings are scary, chaotic times, even for veteran candidates.
Colors Available for Impression:
Gold - In order to have your character considered for the gold egg, you must have at least one active non-candidate character.
Bronze – We can have up to 3 bronzes in our next hatching.
Brown – Typically between 3-5.
Blue– Typically between 5-7. There is a possibility of a blue impressing a female candidate. Contact one of the mods for details.
Green - Typically between 6-8. At this time, we are only looking to impress up to 4 females.
About Us:
Before the Fall is a small game with lots of room to grow. We want to focus on the politics of Pern in the last days of a Long Interval few people believe will end. We need candidates, riders, and holders and crafters of all kinds. Most importantly, though, are writers who are looking for a fun game with a lot of world building opportunities.
